Post Need a wire that is hot only w/ headlights

Any1 know a good place to tap into for wiring gauge lights? I want them on only when the parking and/or headlights come on lights come on.

Thanks

Pop the headlight switch out... I forget the colors, but a couple of minutes with a test light should help you find it. That's where I got a hot for my lumi-logo switch.

Check out https://www.f150online.com/f150board...ML/001260.html for the wire I ended up using.

Good Luck!
